Superior hypogastric nerve block versus spinal anesthesia for early pain control after uterine fibroid embolization: a prospective quasi-randomized comparative study

PURPOSE: To compare early postprocedural pain and rescue opioid use after uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) in patients treated with superior hypogastric nerve block (SHNB) versus spinal anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This single-center prospective quasi-randomized comparati...

Effects of home-based isometric handgrip or aerobic training on blood pressure variability and vascular health in older adults with elevated blood pressure and hypertension: secondary results from The HoldAge Trial

Background Hypertension is a multifactorial condition that is likely to affect older adults. We evaluated the effects of home-based isometric handgrip training (IHT) or aerobic exercise training (AET) on vascular health of older adults with elevated blood pressure (BP) and hypert...

Degrees‐of‐Freedom Approximations for Conditional‐Mean Inference in Random‐Lot Stability Analysis

ABSTRACT Linear mixed models are widely used for pharmaceutical stability trending when sufficient lots are available. Expiry support is often based on whether lot‐specific conditional‐mean confidence limits remain within specification through a proposed expiry, and these limits...
